I was disassembling a 1977 Camaro subframe for rebuilding before I put it under my '57 Chevy truck. I found two cast aluminum spring pockets about 1" thick between the lower control arms and the springs. Are these factory parts, or were they possibly used to make up for weak springs? I had planned on reusing the springs, but now I my doubts. Any thoughts?

The donor was a factory AC car. The spacers look like horseshoes with a groove for the spring. If they are factory parts, I'm not going to worry about the springs. Free standing, they are the same height, for what that's worth.
